The internal medicine clinic at the Navy’s third largest base in the United States is now staffed with one doctor for 2,200 patients, forcing officials to move one-third of the backlog of cases to medical care off the base.

WTH are we doing? Cut funds for sick/poor? Despicable. Now even those who dedicate/risk their lives for our safety??The disrespect💀
If roles were reversed MAGA would’ve already started civil war over this. I thought they’re so patriotic?? They have completely lost the plot. No coming back for them
“I like people who weren’t captured.” Assuming Trump also likes people who weren’t injured in combat. F ‘em all, right? They should’ve died for their country, not lived to become a burden.
Typical Trump! You should have seen this coming when he started his first campaign making fun of the disabled. To Trump a sick or wounded vet is not fit for duty so GET RID OF THEM!
Not hands off. The article indicates resolution of alternate care to clear the backlog. That remediation is under the Trump Administration. He is the solution.
Casting dispersions without some thoughtful analysis makes you & what you stand for look foolish.
The article stated the remedy was planned months ago. That would be problem that occurred under Biden and a backlog of 2200 didn’t happen overnight, unless there was a pandemic unreported? Not a Trump issue.
Now, casting an alternate dispersion without context?
How long do you think the damn wait is going to be now?
Yes I am suggesting Trump made the wait impossible. Vets will now have to seek healthcare at a for profit hospital squeezing patients out of the VA system. Effectively cancelling a benefit their are entitled to.
VA MISSION Act, signed into law on June 6, 2018. The Act built on earlier efforts, like the 2014 Veterans Choice Program, but marked a broader shift toward integrating community care—outsourced healthcare services—into the VA system. This remained through the Biden and now Trump administration.
Every member of Congress, Army, Navy, Air Force, FBI, SS member etc pledges allegiance to the USA Constitution not the POTUS. Isn’t it time they ALL aligned forces and shut down this coup?
Given the governments inability to run efficiently, it is a huge veteran’s benefit to allow them to source outside care.
It would serve you well to research the drawbacks of socialized medical care. Sounds great, but even Denmark has private heath insurance now to overcome long waits times.
If you think privatized health care provides better outcomes at less cost than the existing va healthcare you are delusional.
Here’s a study from the national bureau of economic research showing better outcomes and less cost for va healthcare vs private hospitals.
Interesting article . AI basically reinforces the challenge of socialized medicine in terms availability (special resources) and wait times. I have a BIL from Denmark. He is now a naturalized US citizen. He will tell you, private vs socialized medicine- US private is far superior (his words)
I think that depends upon where you are. I had a serious back problem that urgently needed care and it was months before I could see my doctor and I’m an established patient. From the time when it started until surgery was 7 months. And that was wait time to see the doctor and get scheduled.

You believe a backlog of 2200 patients occurred in 4 weeks under Trump?
If you do, I have a bridge to sell you. 🤦🏻♀️

Make debate, but bring your A-game.

Good job Elmo.
I hope you’re feeling great again.

Did you read the article or simply assignTDS as the cause?
